Tn. My,h About ArI.tocracy.

Princes of the blood don't dress any
finer or behave any better than these
SONS and wives and daughters Of brokers
and business men, editors and railroad
presidents-patent medicines, steamboats,,
standard oil, California and isinglass,
groceries and the china trade, all are rep
resented and ! have seen at more than
one palace as well as playhouse in Europe
people Of the bluest blood and Oldest
name who carried themselves no more
proudly and bore their bodies no more
seemly. For the myth about aristocracy
should be exploded. II is simply what
those who were in once said 10 those who
were out what those who have still say
10 those who have not.
Il is like the king In the story, who
was told he wore superb garment which
no one could see who was not nobly born.
He rode in the streets stark naked, and
ever 30 cold, but everybody cried out at
the beauty Of his robes. They didn't
dare 10 own their blindness Hest their
origin should be disclosed. The poor
king himself was afraid to say how he
shivered 4! he might lose his crown.
Finally little boy in the streets, who
had nothing 10 lose, cried out Why,
the king Is naked r. and then everybody
agreed. lam the little boy In the streets.
] tell you that the kings are all naked,
and the aristocrats too. I have seen
them. They are no better thun you or I.
When we have fine clothes we look quite

President Arthur's Meals.

President Arthur ate but two meals a
day-a very light breakfast between 8
and 10 in the morning, and very light
dinner in the evening. His breakfast was
a cup of coffee and cracker. with per.
haps piece of salt fish. His dinners be.
gan between s and in the evening, and
the guests often sat at them until mid
night. President Arthur seldom ate
without having some invited guests at his
table. His private dinners are said to
have cost as much as IS plate, and his
public ones $40 plate and upward. AS
he usually had fifty persons at these state
dinners, the nine which he gave during
the last year of his administration must
have cost at least 5000.
II required twelve servants 10 serve one
of these state dinners. The menus Of
two successive dinners were entirely diff
ferent, no dish at the one being the same
as any served at the previous dinner. and
a different wine being served with every
course. His cook was Frenchman, and
dinners were pronounced by the late Sen.
ator Anthony, who was noted as an cpl
cure, perfection.-Frank g. Carpenter in
Llppincott's.

LOVES SILENCE.

Sweet, shall ask thee why thou art %
still,
Gazing afar into the deeps Of space,
With shadows Of the twilight on thy face,
And eyes that quick with dewy moisture

Why Is thy laugtter's mellow ripping rill
Silent and dumbi What chrism OF perfect
grace
Shall fall upon those lips and fini place
To bid their accents on the dusk TO thrilli
Why art thou volceless, loyel All, speak to
ME
With speech that ever into music grows.

thrall,
As dark and sweet as night upon the sea,
Saying, while one swift look upon me
glows,

The Drudgery Of Authorship.

DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes is genius
as we commonly Use the word. His
writings are patterns Of spontaneity and
easy composition, but they are only SO in
seeming. He expends upon them the
most laborious and the minutest care
He writes rewrites, interlines. turns his
sentences to catch every possible reflec-
ton of beauty, and sandpapers and
polishes his work 10 the last moment be-
fore giving il to the world. II is this
patient drudgery-this constant respect
for the art he practices-that gives to his
writings their brilliancy and their rip
pling flow.-Detroit Free Press.

Great Actors Children,

In mentioning Modieska's exquisite art
j am reminded that her only child, a son,
has not inherited any Of his molh,r's
talent, and il seems 10 be the exception
TO the rule when great actors children
follow their parents profession. In the ease
OF the Booths, Warrens. and Jefrersons
the hereditary talent lasted for three gem
erations, which is about the time that
large fortune remains in one family in
America. Edwin Booths daughter, Mrs.
Grossman. might be expected TO follow
the parental business, as her mother,
Mary Dpylin, a. well as her father. were
horn in the profession.
or all the young Jeffersons. and there
are many. only the eldest son has given
any evidence Of possessing any dramatic
ability. He manages for his father. and
occasionally is trusted with some minor
part. Lawrence Barrett's two daughters
have no stage aspirations. They are con-
tent 10 admire their talented father. Mag
gie Mitchell is the mother of several rol-
licking, happy children, but there is not
one among them who gives promise Of
any ability in the dramatic art but Frank
Mayo has a son and daughter with am
bltions toward the stage, the son espe-
oially showing considerable ability besides
being almost ne handsome as his father.
Frank Chanfrau, Jr., has been playing
his late fathers roles with some success,
but as yet has not rivaled his father.

Government officials went down to look
at 1t. The "iankee catcher" was in the
shape OF a log. One end OF the log was
lifted uponth wharf. 1t became necessary
before the other end could be got out to
